    COVID-19 affected our mental health as well as our physical health. In this study, the anxiety and hopelessness levels of healthcare workers and non-healthcare workers and the factors affecting them were evaluated in Turkey. Beck Hopelessness Scale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was applied online to participants. Totally 2156 individuals were included in the study and 52.0% (n:1121) of them are healthcare workers. The hopelessness and state anxiety levels of healthcare workers were higher than non-healthcare workers. Nurses' hopelessness levels are higher than doctors, and state anxiety levels are higher than both doctors and other healthcare workers. Anxiety and hopelessness levels were higher in women, those living with a high-risk individual at home during the pandemic, those who had difficulty in caring for their children, and those whose income decreased. Anxiety levels are an important predictor of hopelessness. The increase in anxiety levels explained 28.9% of the increase in hopelessness levels. Increased working hours is one of the important factors affecting anxiety. As a conclusion, healthcare workers were more affected psychologically in the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the society. Nurses were affected more than other healthcare workers. It is important to identify the factors affecting anxiety, hopelessness, and individuals who may be more psychologically affected during the pandemic. An important contribution can be made to the protection of public health by ensuring that psychosocial interventions for high-risk groups are planned in advance.

    A comparative study on acute stress levels of healthcare professionals and public in COVID-19 pandemic
    (Society of Turaz Bilim, 2022) Yaşar, Alişan Burak; Aydın, Mehmet Sinan; Kahve, Aybeniz Civan; Hacımusalar, Yunus
    COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in important consequences for healthcare workers, such as long shifts, staying away from family members due to the risk of illness, and working under intense stress. Outbreaks are considered as traumatic factors like other natural disasters and are expected to cause trauma-related disorders. In this study, it was aimed to determine the acute stress levels and stress responses of both the community sample and healthcare workers via using the National Stressful Events Survey Acute Stress Disorder Short Scale (NSESSS). A total of 1027 volunteers, including 387 healthcare workers and 640 non-healthcare workers, participated in the study. The NSESSS levels of non-healthcare workers were significantly higher than healthcare worker, females compared to males, and singles than married ones. As the thought that work justice was provided in healthcare workers increased, NSESSS levels decreased. As the difficulty of finding protective equipment in healthcare workers decreased, NSESSS levels decreased. Nurses' ages, time spent on duty, and NSESSS levels were significantly higher than physicians and other healthcare workers. In the pandemic period, it can be a guide in determining the risk factors and risk groups in terms of acute stress, taking preventive mental health measures, and providing early intervention.
